Grant Writing Skill

Translate research vision into funded reality.

Core Principle

A grant proposal is a persuasion document. You're convincing reviewers that your research is important, your approach is sound, and you're the right person to do it.

The Three Questions Every Reviewer Asks

1. Why does this matter? (Significance)
2. Will this approach work? (Feasibility)
3. Can this team do it? (Expertise)

Answer all three. Clearly. Early.
